Why
The Trainer® System Works for You
The Trainer® enables
you to put into action a multi-dimensional Workout program that no other single type of
fitness equipment currently offers:
First you employ an Isometric Hold to increase your muscle strength and
fatigue your muscles;
Second, you employ an Isokinetic Movement with controlled variable
resistance and speed or Positive Isotronics, to build your endurance,
strength and muscle tone -- without muscle soreness;
Third, you employ Passive Stretching which significantly increases your
muscle flexibility, and more importantly, relieves stress;
Fourth, your employ Resistive Aerobics™ to boost your cardiovascular
endurance, at the same time building your lower-body strength.
The Trainer Routines have been carefully
designed so that you can execute a full-body workout in a shorter period of time.
The Trainer®
physical conditioning system is an endorphin supercharger
that's what makes you feel energized after a Workout.

Glossary
of Terms
Note: As you can see, there's no reason at all to be
awed by these technical-sounding physical fitness terms -- each and every one refers to a
quite simple concept.
Isometric Hold: Muscle contraction
without movement.
Isokinetic Movement: Muscle contraction
with constant speed and variable resistance.
Positive Isotonic Movement: Positive
muscle contraction with constant resistance. For example, when you lift a weight,
that's a Positive Isotonic Movement; this evolves into a Negative Isotonic
Movement as you permit the weight to be lowered.
Positive Stretching: Muscle stretching
without contraction, under your control.
Resistive Aerobic: Any walking, jogging
or running exercise while you're pulling against resistance.
Endorphins: Pain-blockers (there are two
types) naturally produced by your body. Endorphins also generate a sensory
perception of physical well-being.

Your Building Blocks to Training
Set aside 10 to 15 minutes every day. Fitness professionals
concur that the key to a successful fitness program is consistency.
Be kind to yourself. Apply positive thinking... remind
yourself to train, not strain. Keep your focus on the resistance exercise &
movement.
Practice with The Trainer®
For the first week or so you should concentrate on becoming thoroughly familiar
with its proper use.
The Trainer® provides you
with precise resistance settings. Each Workout in the manual displays a suggested
starting level of resistance; during the first week or so you should determine your own comfort
threshold resistance setting for each Workout. You will achieve faster and more
beneficial results if you do your Routines daily at comfortable resistance
settings, rather than scheduling them irregularly at higher settings. Train,
don't strain! Pick one exercise you can commit to every day for the rest of your
life...just like brushing your teeth!
Make the decision to be fit and then commit to it.
To maximize the health and fitness benefits offered by The
Trainer® System, your training program should also
encompass a daily balance of proper rest, nutrition and exercise.

What This System Will Do For
You
Performing your Trainer®
Routines daily and at comfortable resistance
settings is your best strategy. Train, don't strain!
Energized, Refreshed Feeling; Comes
about through effects of the endorphins your body produces during exercise.
Your Muscular Strength: Is improved
more effectively by combining isometric hold and isokinetic movement.
Your Muscular Flexibility: Is increased
because of safe and passive stretching while your muscle is at its extended position and
contracted.
Your Cardiovascular Endurance: Resistive
Aerobics is more effective due to resistance and aerobics both working in collaboration
during the walk/jog/run phase.
Body Fat Reduction: Occurs when your
body's enzymes release body fat for energy during and after exercise. Your muscle
tissue is more active and consumes more energy.
Cholesterol (LDL) Reduction: Your ratio
of "good cholesterol" (HDL) to "bad cholesterol" (LDL) is enhanced
through daily exercise.
Blood Pressure Reduction: Takes place
naturally because your heart becomes a more-effective pump, and your blood vessels become
more youthfully elastic.
Pain Relief: During exercise your body
releases endorphins (see Glossary) and boosts your ratio of good-to-bad prostaglandins
(freeform fatty acids).
Stress Reduction: Your muscle tension
is relaxed... in the process extinguishing your chief contributor to stress.
Emotional Stabilization: After each training
routine your body releases endorphins, generating a calming effect and a tonic
feeling of well-being.
